fog city detective

Liang Xi said: "Unless Tim recognizes the identity of the gangster, there is not much value in killing Tim. Cunning enemies have a weakness, and they will increase their winning chips as much as possible." Similar to shrewd people shopping for vegetables, they Be sure to bargain and try to find a way to buy what you want at the cheapest price.Cunning is similar to cleverness, and this kind of people sometimes has traces.

Liang Xi added: "I intuit that this group of people has certain intelligence resources."

Liu Zhen asked: "Deep Sea Group? Orphan Association? Or other groups?"

Liang Xi thought for a while, and said: "Not really. I think this group of people is a bit like the murderer who killed John. It is impossible to draw a conclusion now. If Tim is still alive, if the distance is not far away, Tim can be arranged to go to the hospital. Maria Hospital with relatively superior conditions.”

Liu Zhen asked with a smile: "Aren't you and Karin dating often?"

Liang Xi replied: "You can't understand the care and troubles that love brings. I really envy you who are alone and free."

Liu Zhen: "I'm going to bring Gatlin here to open a big hole in your brain and take out all your troubles."

Chapter 5 Visit

Liang Xi's plan didn't work, but the reasoning was more reliable.At seven o'clock in the morning, Tim contacted Blade near Reading, and he was thrown to the side of the road.After Robert contacted Liu Zhen, he confirmed that Tim was not seriously injured, so he asked the ambulance to take Tim to London Maria Hospital for examination.Tim was at a loss, he just escaped from the tiger's den, shouldn't he go to the nearest doctor and wait for the department to pick him up?How can I let myself, a victim, go to London to find the department?Is he so worthless in the blade?

Liang Xi received a call from Liu Zhen, bought a bouquet of flowers, went to the hospital and attacked Karin's buttocks, and publicized that he had property rights to this woman in front of Karin's colleagues.Karin hugged the flowers and took advantage of the trend. The two did not take the elevator, but walked up the stairs hand in hand.Although it's only been a day, but this kind of happiness is difficult for others to experience.Liang Xi observed Karin's happiness index in the hospital by the way, and it was not bad. His colleagues respected Karin, and the tone of the nurse also showed that Karin already had a place in Maria Hospital.

Lying on the hospital bed, facing Liang Liu's questioning, Tim recalled carefully: "Very professional and very powerful." According to Tim's description, Karin played the role of a gangster, and Liang Xi played Tim.As soon as Tim said the beginning, Karin finished the action.

Karin stretched out her left hand from behind Liang Xi's left side, covering Liang Xi's mouth.At the same time, his right hand hugged Liang Xi's right arm together, and with the flexibility of his wrist, he stabbed the syringe into Liang Xi's neck.Tim's left hand was relatively weak. Liang Xi subconsciously opened the hand covering his mouth while flicking with one hand, but it was difficult to exert force due to the angle of the arm.Under Tim's instructions, Liang Xi raised his hand and hit his elbow backwards, but Karin had already realized this and leaned to the right.Liang Xi's left hand couldn't reach the syringe in Karin's right hand, and it was very uncomfortable.

Tim added: "The man was so strong, I couldn't break free with my right arm."

Karin explained: "The other party can use 100% of the strength, but you can only use 20% of the strength. Like a crocodile, although its bite force is amazing, when an adult pinches its mouth, its mouth will sag. Can't open it."

Liu Zhen asked Karin: "A master?"

Karin nodded: "A very powerful person, this movement requires the coordination of all parts. The most important thing is that this person is very confident in his own strength."

Liu Zhen asked: "Tim, what then?" Tim's case has been transferred to the Office of Counter-Terrorism.

Tim replied: "I woke up with a bright light on me, I was strapped to a chair, I squinted and couldn't see anything else. The person did not use a voice changer. I judged it to be male and older. The person was very Be polite, apologize to me first, and ask me to tell them all the locations of the safe houses. I didn’t answer. The other party stated that he hoped that everyone can resolve the matter peacefully, instead of me confessing after he tortured him. At the same time, he promised Will keep me safe."

Tim said: "He said that even if the two countries are at war, prisoners of war are obliged to reveal their identities and serial numbers to their enemies. Besides, according to CA's experiments and investigations, as long as the method is proper, no one can really survive torture. He gave me After 1 minute, he asked again, and I could only tell him the five safe houses I knew."

Tim: "He was satisfied with my cooperation. For the next three days, I was locked in an enclosed space with a lamp, a mattress, and a simple toilet made of oil drums with a lid."

Tim believes that the place where he is being held is a shipping container.Food will be delivered three times a day, and the food for three days is biscuits, bread and canned lunch meat, as well as a bottle of water.The person who delivered the food only opened the door of the container, put the food at the door, and closed the container and locked it.In the past three days, he tried to communicate with others, but no one paid attention to him.

Tim woke up this morning and saw white mist coming out of a pipe on the ceiling. He thought the other party was trying to silence him, and he planned to give it a go, but he fell asleep without any strength.

A girl on a bike wakes Tim, who finds his body in a body bag with only his head out.After asking the girl, I learned that it was the suburb of Reading, so I borrowed the girl's phone to contact Blade.

Tim felt very ashamed. During these three days, he cooperated very well and did not carry out drastic self-rescue behavior.He thought that he still had the possibility of survival and should not provoke the gangsters.Liu Zhen hugged Tim and said with relief: "You have done a good job, and it is our biggest surprise that you can come back."

It's of no value, the only interesting thing is that the other party is very confident.From Tim's description, it can be seen that the gangster has strong confidence to control everything, including evidence and Tim's possible escape and counterattack behavior.

At this time, two burly men entered the ward, Liang Xi looked at the door, and the uniformed police stood aside at the door.Then came in Phil wearing a black woolen coat. Phil nodded when he saw Liang Xi: "I have something to say to Tim."

Liang Xi signaled: "Please."

Phil: "Alone."

"Oh." Liang Xi, Liu Zhen and Karin left together.Karin no longer accompanied her, and went back to her job with a pat on her face.

About 5 minutes later, Phil and his team left. At the door of the ward, Phil asked Liu Zhen: "The anti-terrorism office is in charge of the case?"

Liu Zhen had a correct attitude: "Yes, General."

Phil said: "Don't waste too much time, he doesn't have much information."

"Yes, General."

Phil nodded to Liang Xi, and left with his subordinates.

Liu Zhen and Liang Xi re-entered the ward, and Liu Zhen asked, "What does Phil want from you?"

Tim shook his head: "Sorry, I can't say."

Liang Xi asked, "May I let you listen to the recording?"

Tim hesitated, not knowing how to answer.

Liang Xidao: "Combining all the information and Phil's appearance, I can't help but think of a person. Colonel Marr, who has close contacts with Davis, believes that it is Colonel Marr who talked to you after you were held hostage."

Tim didn't make any excuses to explain whether Liang Xi's speculation was right or wrong. Tim added: "I don't know who Mal is."

That is, it is impossible for Phil to tell you the identity of the other party. He just wants to know whether the two voices are the same person, and whether it is Colonel Marr.From this point of view, Phil's evaluation of Mal is not low, otherwise he would not come here in person, just to prove whether it is Mal.It can be speculated that there is more behind Mal.

Mal is clearly eyeing Davis, and Isha is still a week or so away.Davies will not be labeled a terrorist for now until the prime minister travels to Scotland to address parliament next Monday.Therefore, there is still one week left for Mal.Liang Xi intuitively felt that the style of Marr's group was very close to that of the group that killed John.He leads a team that has a basis for fungal cooperation.The team commits crimes, cooperates skillfully, strikes quickly, accurately and ruthlessly, evacuates quickly, and does not procrastinate.

It's a pity that there are too few clues, and Liang Xi has no way to start.The biggest variable now is Isa's safe house. Will Isa increase armed personnel because of Tim's incident to counter Mal's possible raid?Perhaps this is an opportunity to capture Marr, or give Marr a chance to kill or rescue Davis.

Whoops, that's right, Phil is getting involved.Phil hoped that Isa would give Mal a chance, so that Mal could attack the safe house where Isa was and be captured.Taking the trap last night as an example, Mal was very cunning, he wouldn't make a move if you didn't give him a chance, which was very different from ordinary criminals that Liang Xi knew.Most criminals are opportunists. When they find a rare opportunity, they may also consider it a trap, but they will not let go of a good opportunity under the dubious attitude.

Liu Zhen asked Liang Xi: "Do you have any specific ideas?"

Liang Xi shook his head: "Phil came forward to explain that the case is beyond the scope of my little detective. But as a detective, I think I can investigate Tim's kidnapping case in depth."

Liu Zhen: "Oh?" Blade has thoroughly investigated the apartment building where Tim was kidnapped, and found no suspicious clues.

Liang Xi said: "Tim was followed, from the blade all the way to his apartment."

Tim objected: "I am familiar with car tracking, and I can be sure that no car is following me. Our base parking spaces have electronic detection equipment, and my car cannot be equipped with a positioning system."

Liang Xi said: "If you have not been followed, it means that when you return to the apartment, there must be their eyeliner near the apartment. This is a team cooperating with the kidnapping. Someone notified you to go home. Someone is preparing to ambush you on the seventh floor. Someone has already prepared Good evacuation vehicles. In teamwork, there must be sufficient information. Someone must know when you return to the apartment and either follow you or follow you wherever you must pass."

Liang Xi said: "I speculated that the process of your kidnapping was: you were attacked in the aisle on the 7th floor, and you were transported to the 2nd floor. There was an apartment on the 2nd floor with no residents. They threw you from the 2nd floor, and they threw you from the 2nd floor. Jump down. The back door of the apartment was blocked for security reasons, and there was no image of them in the surveillance.”

Liu Zhen raised a question: "Then they must at least enter the apartment, how can they enter the apartment?"

Liang Xi said: "Don't worry, there is a loophole in my speculation. Tim is 70 kilograms, and it is very tiring to carry him downstairs. How can we guarantee that Tim will not die when he is thrown on the first floor? This is not a loophole, the loophole is in the How do they know that there is a house on the second floor that has no residents? Judging from the information in the early hours of this morning and the process of Tim's kidnapping, I think they have a background in fungi and have a strong ability to cooperate. At the same time, there is a shortcoming that they do things openly Hey, I don't like too complicated plans."

Liang Xi explained: "I thought it was too complicated before. Maybe it was simple and straightforward. The criminals drove into the apartment, took the stairs to the seventh floor to ambush, Tim arrived at the apartment, and after their eyeliner reported, the attackers got ready and kidnapped Tim. Then they carried Tim up the stairs to the underground parking lot and drove off."

Tim said: "The parking lot system of the apartment where I live is not connected to the Internet. Each household has only one parking space, and there must be one parking space. Foreign vehicles cannot enter the underground parking lot. Are there foreign vehicles photographed at the bayonet?"

Liang Xi said: "First of all: they are after you, because you are the one who knows the exact location of all backup safe houses except Isha, unless you tell others about it."

Tim hurriedly said: "No, no one else knows except Isa and the gangsters."

Liang Xi said: "They didn't follow you after you got off work, or entered your apartment after you got off work. They arrived at your apartment a few hours early, entered your home, read your information, and after getting no results , decided to attack you who are off work."

Tim: "As I said, foreign vehicles are not allowed in."

Liang Xi said: "Yes, as long as you open the electric box next to the bayonet, press a button inside to lift the rod. And most of the electric boxes of the bayonet for lifting the pole that are unmanned and free of charge are mostly unlocked. Because some Service vehicles often have to pass by, such as garbage transfer vehicles, sweeping vehicles, etc. The underground parking lot of the apartment where I lived was equipped with garbage cans, and the garbage transfer vehicle stopped in front of the pole, and the driver got off the car and opened the cover to automatically lift the pole. I Think they should know that."

Liang Xi said: "And I believe that their vehicles must be fake or fake, or even temporarily stolen vehicles. They don't care about being photographed by the camera, or even being discovered by us. I made a mistake: I didn't find out how they kidnapped You think they are deliberately deceiving people. Looking at it now, I am just stupid and have not thought of other possibilities." Liang Xi opened his brains on the basic facts, but did not open his brains from the perspective of gangsters.

Liu Zhen stood up and said, "I'm free, let's go and have a look. Tim, you have a good rest, I'm glad to see you again."

Tim nodded, "Me too."

……

In front of the checkpoint of the apartment parking lot, Liu Zhen easily took off the cover of one side of the electrical box and successfully lifted the parking lever, but Liu Zhen was not satisfied: "They should wear gloves, right?"

"A thief knows it."

Liu Zhen asked: "Then what evidence will they leave behind?"

Liang Xi: "I don't know either, I hope they will make mistakes."

In the video, around 2:30 a.m. on the day Tim was abducted, a car with a non-apartment license plate was parked in front of a parking pole.In the video, one can barely see someone getting out of the car, and the car passed the checkpoint after a while.At 9:30 on the same day, Isa contacted Tim to no avail, and asked someone to find Tim. Juliet and Saran arrived at the apartment at 9:50, and the non-resident car left the underground parking lot at 9:53.The careless Liang Xi only checked the video at 9:30.

There is a small contradiction here. Before Liang Xi thought that the other party's behavior was open and closed, why didn't he leave immediately after the kidnapping was successful?Why stay in the apartment?

Liang Xi said: "Let's go to Tim's house and take a good look." The criminals searched Tim's house when Tim was at work, but found nothing useful.After kidnapping Tim, they use Tim to pick the lock.Or a fingerprint safe, or Tim's cell phone, they hope to get information indirectly.Originally they had plenty of time, but Isa forgot that Tim was on the night shift and a phone call failed, leading Juliet and Saran to see Tim.So they can only take Tim and leave.

Because Tim lived in an apartment, there was no security system installed, and the door lock was very stretched. Liu Zhen took the hairpin, straightened it, and poked it open a few times.Looking back at Liang Xi's secretly taking photos with his mobile phone, Liu Zhen smiled angrily: "You will be beaten to death by Karin sooner or later for your mischievousness."

Chapter 5 and Three

Push the door open and enter. Tim's house is the same as Liang Xi's previous apartment.A synonymous word: simple.One living room, one bedroom, one bathroom, not even a balcony.On the other hand, if it is not intentional sabotage, it will be difficult to turn this place into a mess.

Turn on the desktop computer, and sure enough, the power-on password appeared.

Liu Zhen looked at it and said: "The location of the safe house must be surveyed. There will definitely be a lot of pictures and videos, so the idea that there is information in the computer should be correct."

Liang Xi said: "But he was stunned, so he could only ask technicians to crack the code. In other words, there may be technicians entering and leaving the apartment during this period."

Liu Zhen asked: "Haven't you seen the elevator monitoring and the first floor monitoring?"

Liang Xidao: "8-9 o'clock is the rush hour for going to work. There are many people living in the apartment, and there are a lot of people coming and going. And everyone lives behind closed doors, and few people know their neighbors. No suspicious person was found in the surveillance, and no one was found. Bring a suitcase that can take Tim away. Call Fiona to come over and see if Fiona can provide us with some information. At least know how long it will take to crack the password and how to operate it.”

Liu Zhen took out his mobile phone and said casually, "I heard you were having an affair with Fiona?"

Liang Xi was shocked and asked: "Who said that, nonsense, how is it possible?"

"I heard." Liu Zhen said: "Fiona, we are at Tim's house, can you come over?... Liang Xi said that he needs you to come and crack the power-on password of a computer...Okay, we will wait for you."

Liu Zhen received the call: "I'm very attractive. The general's daughter, the number one hacker of the blade. If you don't mention your name, they won't come over."

"Freeze said."

Liu Zhendao: "After I explained it just now, she told me that Xiaobai's skills are quite good. She has some work to deal with at hand, and she may not have time to pass it. Then I told you, she pretended to hesitate for a while and answered, that's fine."

Liang Xi: "You've misunderstood me. I'm a bit humane at Blade's Edge. Besides, I may have made a major discovery when I invited Fiona. You invite Fiona..."

"Pay attention to your words." Liu Zhen said: "Be careful that I close the door and beat the dog."

"Haha, I'll check the safe." Liang Xi entered the bedroom and pushed an oil painting away, revealing a small mosaic safe, which was a fingerprint safe.Liang Xi asked: "Why only use a single fingerprint? Instead of a password plus a fingerprint?"

Liu Zhen replied: "Many action-oriented detectives buy safes for the sole purpose of storing guns. Although there is no rule that guns must be stored in safes, there have been many tragedies and accidents because of this before. A friend came to the house Playing, I feel mysterious and curious about guns. When the owner is not around, I take a gun to pose for a photo and cause it to go off. There are also incidents where children use guns as toys. When people are not in the apartment, the safe has no value of being stolen, and the gun will follow people. Let’s go. Only fingerprints are so convenient, just press and open. Besides, modern people have too many passwords to memorize.”

Too many passwords is not the key, the key is that the passwords of some crazy websites not only require a certain minimum number, but also require a mixture of letters and numbers, and what is even more required to contain uppercase letters.

Liang Xi called Tim: "What's in your safe?"

Tim replied: "Guns, just for the convenience of firing them... are you at my house?"

Liang Xi asked, "What's wrong?"

"No, just ask."

Liang Xi said, "We'll have to look at your computer later."

"Oh, buy Karma." Tim whispered: "There are a few files that you don't want to read. Folder names: Introduction to French, Introduction to Japanese, World Geographic Magazine, People and Nature. In addition, there are browsing records, browsing history, bookmarks, etc. .You understand?"

Liang Xi replied: "I have a girlfriend." I don't need to understand.

Tim hurriedly said: "Forget what I owe you. Eat, treat you to dinner, treat you and your girlfriend to dinner, I won't attend, I pay the bill, the best restaurant."

"Understood." The man was a boy until death: "What's the password?"

Tim said an eight-digit password, and Liang Xi was a little curious: "Why did you set a password in your personal computer?"

Tim informed: "There is some work-related information in the computer memory."

Only then did Liang Xi know that Isa had a good reason for asking Tim to find a safe house.Tim is an ex-soldier who earned a master's degree in wood engineering before enlisting as an engineer.Perhaps because of his profession, half of the safe houses provided by Tim are outside the city.Tim also redesigned, adjusted and constructed each safe house, so that the safe house can detect intruders at the first time, and can attack when advancing, and defend when retreating.It's hard to use a mobile phone for such professional design work, so Tim's computer has drawings and photos of the safe house, and even a blueprint of the electrical plumbing of the Blade Base.

After Liang Xi hung up the phone and thought hard without saying a word, Liu Zhen asked, "What do you think?"

Liang Xi said: "If the gangster needs the information in the computer, just carry the host away."

"Yeah, it's not heavy."

For Liang Xi’s question, Fiona, who arrived soon, gave the answer: “Little idiot, don’t you have to crack the password after taking the main unit away? The only way to physically clear the original BOIS password is to unplug the battery and discharge it. You can also format the machine. Reinstall the system, but if the desired data is in the system disk, the data will also disappear. Of course, there are many ways, but because this computer has some data on the blade, I set up a power-on password program separately, which is basically impossible to crack.”

Fiona said: "The only thing that has a little bit of effect is the decoder."

Liang Xi said: "I know, it's just that the number keeps jumping after connecting in the movie, and the password appears at the end." With powerful computing power, he kept trying the combination of passwords.

Fiona smiled: "Probably so! But you can use a decoder to solve it in a short time only when the hacker knows how many digits there are in the movie, and they are all digits."

While speaking, Fiona took the data cable to connect her computer and Tim's computer, and entered the system after a while.After entering the system, Fiona opened the system diary, and checked for a while: "That's right, the other party used many methods to crack the password. From the most common keyboard activation operation, to safe mode, to external decoders... It took them It took more than two hours to use a decoder to try to unlock the computer password. It can be seen that the other party is a programmer with certain computer knowledge, definitely not a qualified hacker. They also dismantled the case, pulled out the battery, and directly read Hard drive data, but all failed."

Fiona sighed: "It's really hard to find a good hacker these days." During the monthly routine maintenance of the blade, Fiona used the black technology in the deep-sea laptop on Tim's computer. People don't know that the password is a separate program, and they think it is the password function that comes with the system.

"Yes, yes, you are the best."

Fiona smiled back and asked, "What else do I need to do?"

"Can you find information about gangster hackers who are not your opponents?"

"Look at luck." Fiona said while operating: "See if the other party is like me, connecting his computer to Tim's computer. Every laptop has its own Mac, which is the host number. And The engine number of the car is the same, and the mac is the only number. After getting the code, we will check the number, and soon we know that this laptop was shipped in September last year and sold in Sweden. Unfortunately, it is different from a car. Buying a computer is not the same. A real-name system is required."

Fiona said: "However, when the computer is sold, the merchant will give feedback to the manufacturer when it was sold, that is, the warranty timing. Therefore, we can know that the exact computer was sold on September 21 last year. Then we can find out The merchant is an online direct seller of the manufacturer, and we can find the buyer's delivery address and contact number accordingly. The delivery address is No. 27, Bosberg Beach, Malmory, Sweden. This is a set with a history of 30 years. Villa. The current owner is a young lady named Elena."

Fiona continued to inquire: "We can also find out that Elena entered the country 1102 days ago. This passport is registered in Room [-] of Wufan Hotel, and the registration time is consistent with her entry time."

Liang Xi and Liu Zhen looked at Fiona like a weirdo, and Liu Zhen asked, "Is it really possible to check this way?" Is there still privacy?
